Abstract
This thesis presents a rescore project for the animation trailer of the Nintendo Switch game "Epic Mickey." The game, renowned for its blend of magical, dark, fantasy and thrilling elements, follows Mickey on a captivating journey through the Wasteland, where he wields paint and thinner to alter his surroundings. The score underscores the game's dramatic narrative, filled with emotional highs and lows. I aim to enhance the trailer's emotional and atmospheric impact. The rescore accentuates the magical moments and the underlying darkness that characterize the game's aesthetic. By carefully selecting and synchronizing musical pieces with visual elements, my score amplifies the dramatic arcs and emotional depth, providing a more immersive and engaging experience for the audience. This project demonstrates the significant role of music in shaping the narrative and emotional reception of visual media.
